Become a certified Parent Member! The Parent Member role is to support a parent of a child with a disability at an IEP meeting. In this training approved by the NYS Education Department, you will learn about procedures, regulations, and strategies to promote a parent’s understanding and participation. 

This training is the first required step to become a certified parent member of the IEP team.

• Parent must have a child with an IEP (or have had an IEP within the last 5 years)

• Not be employed by the NYC DOE

• Must be fingerprinted

• This is not a full time job.
